In fact Tom Kaye had a famous interview where he stuck his tongue in the breech of an automag with a LVL 10 bolt and fired to show how easy on paint it is.
The LVL10 was needed so the mags don't chop paint. But it was also flawed from the start. The LVL10 was a fix to overcome the huge forward force and wasted even more air.
